Lists for $2.8 Million"},"content":{"rendered":"

\n\tA little over a decade after it sold for $950,000, a striking Richard Neutra<\/a>-designed residence in the Hollywood Hills<\/a> neighborhood of Los Angeles<\/a> has returned to market for only the fifth time in 66 years.\u00a0The fully redone post-and-beam gem is being floated for sale with a loftier $2.8 million price tag. Kimberly Bini of Christie\u2019s International Real Estate<\/a> Southern California holds the listing<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n\tOriginally built in the late 1950s for photographer Jason Hailey for a mere $25,000, the low-slung, flat-roofed abode, which was designated as an L.A. Historic-Cultural Monument in 1987, underwent a thorough restoration at the hands of its current owner,\u00a0Patrick O\u2019Neill<\/a>. The creative director worked in collaboration with a team that included architectural historian\u00a0Barbara Lemprecht<\/a>, who featured the home in her book\u00a0Neutra: Complete Works, along with interior decorator\u00a0Anthony Barsoumian<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Andrew Gray Studio<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI looked at this house as an incredible piece of art,\u201d O\u2019Neil told\u00a0Domino<\/a>\u00a0magazine in 2018. \u201cUsually someone decides to \u2018update\u2019 over the years by tearing down walls or changing the structure, but luckily each person shared my appreciation for the original. The first time I walked in, I couldn\u2019t believe I was touching the same materials installed in 1959, when it was built.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tPosted on a steep hillside parcel between the Hollywood Reservoir and Universal City, the module-style structure has two bedrooms and an equal number of baths in roughly 1,100 square feet of compact yet functional living space boasting copious built-ins, Philippine mahogany paneling, redwood details, and jalousie windows throughout. Sliding glass walls spill out to a decked balcony with views sweeping over the Cahuenga Pass.<\/p>\n

\n\tA streetside carport conceals an entry courtyard sheltered by overhanging eaves, with a wood front door leading into a small vestibule. From there, the open-plan layout features a living room anchored by a sculptural wood-burning fireplace, a den that can be closed off and used as a guest bedroom, and a dining area. A tucked-away kitchen is outfitted with dark-stained cork floors and smoked glass cabinetry fronts, as well as the original yellow Formica countertops and Thermador in-wall oven.<\/p>\n

\n\tIn addition to a primary bedroom sporting a built-in headboard and desk, a climatized wine cellar and laundry room can be found underneath the house, while the terraced grounds cover less than a quarter of an acre but pack in a series of\u00a0Studio John Sharp<\/a>-designed outdoor vignettes. Laced with gardens and pottery, they host a dining patio, a fire pit conversation area, a sunken Japanese soaking tub, and a trellis-shaded theater with a projector and screen.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cRestoration instead of renovation is such a uniquely inspiring process,\u201d said O\u2019Neill, a Neutra enthusiast who purchased the Hailey House after selling a home in Woodstock, New York, that is inspired by the architect\u2019s Kaufmann Desert House in Palm Springs. \u201cMost people would take one look and think, \u2018Oh, my God! That\u2019s so much work!\u2019 But I was jumping up and down with excitement. When we finished, there was a moment I realized, I\u2019m going to take care of this house and it\u2019s going to take care of me.\u201d<\/p>\n
